The story so far
newest item (as of 15nov00):
ODEs;
in postscript, and in pdf;
I'll try to provide here a rough outline of what actually was said in class,
getting more detailed in case the particular material is treated differently
in
the book. However, the book is the basic source for this course; for this
reason, I will also state what parts of the book I think I have covered.
Comments by email, particularly questions and complaints about errors, are
welcome.
